Iconic Minerals Ltd. has appointed technical advisors and consultants, who the company believes will be integral in strategically assisting to develop the drilling and exploration program, sampling, analysis and quality control of the collection of liquids and brines for the prospective lithium brine claims at the Bonnie Claire Property in Nevada.

That project was subsequently acquired in 2010 by Talison Minerals Pty., an Australian corporation, which then formed Talison Lithium Inc., which some consider to be the world’s largest pure lithium company. Dr. Shaw served as a director of Talison until it was acquired by Chengdu Tiangi Industry Co., Ltd. in 2013 for over C$800 million.

In 2002 he received Emeritus Professor status from the University of Calgary. Dr. Hutcheon also consulted on the lithium brines project in the Chilean salares that was acquired in 2010 by Talison. In 2014, Dr. Hutcheon received the Vernadsky Medal from the International Association of Geochemistry.
